Guess The Humongous Amount A Canada Goose Can Poop In A Day

The newspaper relayed this intriguing bit of information in a larger story about how the geese are creating a hazard in Michigan. But their crap-acity stood out. A 160-pound human, for instance, reportedly produces about a pound of excrement daily. An adult Canada goose weighs generally between 6.6 and 19.8 pounds, National Geographic notes, yet can dump twice as much.

The bird’s numbers were in serious decline before preservation efforts revived the population, the center said.

Now their green droppings have ruined Riverside Park in Grand Rapids, resident Brian Borbot complained to the Free Press.

“There are soccer fields and Little League fields down here that they feed on,” he said. “Kids and adults play on these fields, and everywhere you look, it’s flattened-out green piles. It’s not good for the ponds there, and it’s not good for the people.”
